irs-nan PTE JOHN B. NAYLOR AND ALBERT CLARK, OF AKRON, OHIO.

CAME.

Application filed April 8, 1924. Serial No. 704,947.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that JOHN R. NAYLOR and A Lnn'r CLA .r, citizen of Ythe lUnited States, and subject of Great Britain, respectively, residing at Alrron, in the county of lvlunnnit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Games, of which the following is a specication.

Our invent-ion relates to improvements in cames adapted to be utilized in holding together the panes of glass in art glass windows, skylights, transoms, doors, lamps, vehicle windows and the like.

An object of the invention is to provide a. conventional type of lead came having a reinforcing member to rigidly support the panes Aand prevent distortion and loosening.

A further object of the invention is. to provide a came having a concealed reinforcing member to strengthen the came which does not mar its appearance.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned character which is simple and durable in construction, eiiicient in serving its purpose and inexpensive to manufacture.

@their objects and advantages. vention will be apparent during of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure l, is a. perspective fragmentary view of a window built with our improved carne,

Figure 2, is a perspective view of the came,

Figure 3, is a perspective fragmentary view of a modified form of reinforcing bar, and

Figures 4l, and 5 are perspective fragmentary views showing cames having ornamen-` tal designed faces.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration, we have shown a preferred embodiment of our invention, the numeral 5 denotes generally the lead came which is l-l shape in cross section having a web 6 and opposite flanges 7 projectiing` from the edges of the web to provide longitudinal grooves S along the sides. Fitted within the grooves in frictional contact with the web and flanges of the inthe course fragmentary are reinforcing channel bars 9 preferably constructed of brass, copper, zinc or other stiff material. rlhe glass panes l0 are seated in the channel bars and it will be observed that the edges of the flanges l' exten d beyond the edges of the reinforcing bars, being bent inwardly, as at ll, to form a tight lit between the came and pane to exclude dirt and moisture. rl`he web l2 of the channel bars 9 may be straight or `curved as clearly illustrated in F ig. 3. The outer face of the came may be horizontal, curved as shown in Fig. 4l or of ornamental design as shown in Fig.

rlhis construction will provide came having the same appearance as the ordinary lead came, but which is much stronger and durable and which eliminates the use of exterior strengthening means. lt may be used. for large or small panes and is capable of shaping to fit panes of various designs.

It is to be understood that the form of our invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that certain changes in the shape, size and arrangenient of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invent-ion or the scope of the claims.

Having thus described .my invention, l elaim2- l. A came for glass panes having a web, oppositely disposed flanges projecting from the edges of the web and channel bars mounted between said flanges the edges of said flanges being bent over the edges of said bars.

2. A lead came havi g lrnie'itudinal grooves and channel bars fitted within said grooves, the flanges of said grooves having their marginal edges bent over the edges of said channel bars.

3. A lead came for glass panes. having a web, oppositely disposed. flanges cxtemling from the edges of said web, and channel bars seated bet veen the flanges in frictiomil contact therewith and the web, said flan having their marginal edges projecting beyond the edges of the channel bars and bent in wardly over 'the edges of the bars into binding relation with the pane.

In testimony whereof we aliix our signatures.

JOHN R. NAYLOR. ALBERT CLARK.
